Alexander McQueen fall 2011 ad campaign

Primped in designer Sarah Burtonâs intricate white finale dress, model Raquel Zimmermann struts rather stiffly across a rugged terrain.

Heavy styling and extreme contrasting colors do not eclipse the beautiful new collection. Just creates a mood around the design.
